I wanted to give my testimony about something that happened in my marriage and God's grace. This will be a very hard and beautiful post to write. My husband is a wonderful man and has a good heart. We have been married for 15 years. I thought our marriage was rock solid. Last Wednesday I found out my husband had committed adultery. It was not physical in nature, but it was headed that way. My world was turned upside down. My heart was shattered. I had all of the feelings that could have ran through me. I am not proud of how I handle myself during the first few days. I didn't know what to do to save this marriage and honestly I didn't know if I wanted to. I had these feelings for a couple of days. See, my husband didn't understand what adultery really meant. He thought that as long as it wasn't physical that it was not considered adultery. My husband knows about Jesus, but had not given his life to Christ. He has never read the bible. But something beautiful happened. Saturday after a long day of pain he asked me what can we do to save this marriage, the only answer I had was to pray. God is the only one that can save this, if it is His will. I held my husband's hands and prayed over our marriage. My husband started crying. God touched him! He said to me the next day with tears in his eyes, I don't know what happened last night after you prayed for our marriage but something changed in me. I felt it in my heart. He couldn't really explain it. After I prayed for our marriage, God gave a peace that I have never felt before. I had a clear knowing that this will work out and will be ok. Since this, our marriage has changed drastically. Every night we read the bible together! We talked through many things from what to do different in our marriage, what we have to change personally, and above all giving our lives to Christ. I explained to my husband that God used me to save him. I told him that if I had to suffer to save his soul, that all the pain that I was feeling was worth it. My husband wants to know God's words and direction. God has put it on my heart to read the bible to him and ask if he understands. If not I explain it to him in words he would understand. Baby steps. Today my husband told me that he did something he has never done: he asked God for forgiveness!

Here is what I have learned over the past few days: 1) the devil is real and will find the tiniest of cracks in a foundation to work his way in. 2) God will use you to save others even if that means you will suffer. 3)God will humble you and show you your sins and where you need changing 4) through this mess I can see God's mercy and grace.

Lastly I would like to personally thank Brad. Without your teachings and guidance I would not have had the knowledge to fight the devil. I would not have been able to reach, teach, and baptize! To this wonderful community thank you for being my friend. Without you all, I would not know what a true brother or sister in Christ was.
